As much of the country shifts from winter storms to warmer temperatures with the arrival of spring, a veteran cowboy cook says decades of experience have taught him how to prepare meals in some of the harshest conditions on Earth.<\/p>\n

Kent Rollins,<\/a> a longtime chuck wagon cook and Outdoor Channel host, has spent decades cooking for ranchers in extreme weather conditions across the country.<\/p>\n

“If they can cowboy in it and get horseback, I can cook in it,” Rollins told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

AMERICA’S ‘CAST IRON COWBOY’ REVEALS WHY TRADITIONAL SKILLETS REMAIN THE ULTIMATE COOKING TOOL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

From minus-30 wind chills to 117-degree heat, Rollins, based in New Mexico, has learned how to adapt while preparing simple meals<\/a> outdoors year-round.<\/p>\n

“Life is simple,” he said. “Don’t complicate it with cooking.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Rollins has built a following of millions across social media and hosts “Cast Iron Cowboy” on the Outdoor Channel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also recently launched the “Cowboy Coffee Hour” podcast with his wife, Shannon, with the two sharing stories from the trail and lessons on grit, faith and the cowboy code.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are six tips Rollins revealed to Fox News Digital that are essential for cooking in extreme conditions, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In high temperatures, Rollins, who was raised in Oklahoma, said hydration is critical \u2014 but water alone isn’t enough.<\/p>\n

“You’ve got to have something that’s going to put some of the good stuff back in you,” he said, noting he often turns to electrolytes, bananas and even coconut water.<\/a><\/p>\n

He also warned people to pay attention to their bodies.<\/p>\n

“If you ever reach up there to wipe your brow and there ain’t no sweat no more, you might have done went too far,” he said.<\/p>\n

Cold weather presents its own dangers, especially for those cooking outdoors<\/a> for long stretches.<\/p>\n

Rollins recommended dressing in layers and wearing moisture-wicking clothing.<\/p>\n

“Try to wear something that’s going to wick away that moisture in the wintertime if you do get sweating because water and cold make ice,” he warned.<\/p>\n

Rollins also stressed the importance of covering exposed areas \u2014 noting that frostbite can set in quickly in extreme wind and snow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What’s on the menu should change with the weather, Rollins said.<\/p>\n

In colder months, he focuses on high-calorie, hearty meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We make a lot of one-pot meals,”<\/a> he said, including stews, chili and homemade sloppy Joes with ground beef, onions, jalape\u00f1os, chipotle peppers, adobe sauce and grated cheese to thicken it.<\/p>\n

For breakfast,<\/a> he keeps things straightforward with a biscuit recipe that only calls for self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream.<\/p>\n

In extreme heat, however, appetites shrink and meals get lighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Cowboys ain’t going to eat as much, especially at a noon meal,”<\/a> he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cooking outdoors means everything depends on your fire,<\/a> Rollins said, especially in bad weather.<\/p>\n

That means shielding it from wind, snow or rain and having a plan to keep it going.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Make sure you have some kind of shelter \u2026 that the water is not going to put it out,” he said.<\/p>\n

Extreme temperatures can impact cookware, too, Rollins said.<\/p>\n

Cast iron should never be taken from very cold to very hot too quickly, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you shock cast iron from really being too cold to too hot in a hurry, you might crack it in half,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, he recommended gradually warming it near a fire<\/a> or stove before cooking and letting it cool down slowly afterward.<\/p>\n

One of Rollins’ most versatile tools isn’t a pan or a pot. It’s a cooler, which he uses in multiple ways, depending on the weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In winter, an ice chest can keep ingredients like potatoes from freezing. It can also help thaw meat or hold heat with hot water in it.<\/p>\n

Overall, mindset is the most important ingredient, according to Rollins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If it doesn’t challenge you, it will never change you,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
